3.2

Review by Tobias Chapple
 
"To an extent, it's unfair to take Gotcha to task because the hostage situation is implausible. The practicalities of the situation (it's actually quite difficult to set gasoline on fire with a lit cigarette and even if does burn, it's only a surface fire) are distracting but should be put to one side."
 
I think that this is opinion of the reviewer as it is not really relevant of the technical side of whether it would really set on fire, rather than that he is threatening to do it to the teachers. By adding in a small snippet of his own finding of parts in the play it makes the audience feel as if the play was not written well and the playwright left out a lot of details.

"Keeffe may rely of soap-ish ingredients to bring matters of head, but the all-or-nothing recklessness of the boys actions underline how, for him, the stakes are incredibly high."
 
This reviewer almost uses his own opinion to tell everyone his thoughts on the playwrights style by describing it as 'soap-ish'. I think this is to do with the way that the playwright uses fast pace action with a lot happening all the time.
